Resetting Your Password in the WordPress Admin Panel
› CMS WordPress › Reset password on Wordpress.
To reset the password in the WordPress admin panel, you’ll need to know your site’s database name.
You can find this information in the
wp-config.php file located in your site directory, accessible through the File Manager or via FTP.
Look for the following line:
define( 'DB_NAME', 'your_database_name' );
Once you’ve identified the database name, navigate to
phpMyAdmin to access the database tables.
In phpMyAdmin, click on your database name to expand the list of tables.
Next, open the
[your_prefix]_users table.
Locate the username for which you need to reset the password.
For example:
admin or (as shown in the example)
Ha5kcTNg9kVRhbKS.
Click the
Edit button next to the corresponding username.
Enter the new password in the
user_pass line.
In the line "
Functions" select
MD5.
Click "
Forward".
The record was successfully modified.
Log in to the site’s admin panel using the new password to verify the update was successful.
